Vivian Lee McDaniel, 84, of Bladenboro passed away on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at home surrounded by family.
Vivian was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd Horne and Bernice Butler Horne, her husband Herman McDaniel, sister Faye Horne and son, Steve “Petey” Bordeaux.

Vivian was a strong-willed, hardworking lady. She adored her family and enjoyed spending time with them. Nature was her passion. She loved to watch the squirrels run and play and the hummingbirds come to feed at the feeders. She also enjoyed flowers and fishing. When not outdoors taking in the scenery you could find her enjoying a good western. Vivian will be missed.
